- And finally, Judge Wiley Ain’t Having It is brought to us this week by Dobbs v. City of Los Angeles, in which Cynthia Dobbs sued the City of Los Angeles after walking into a concrete bollard designed to protect the Los Angeles Convention Center from car bombs. Judge Wiley was unamused. Here’s his description of the bollards in question: “Key evidence included how this bollard looked on the sidewalk. It was big. It was designed to stop cars. It was obvious to pedestrians who looked where they were going.” When an opinion ends with, “When one walks into a concrete pillar that is big and obvious, the fault is one’s own,” you’ve possibly picked the wrong forum.
